Katie (Now You're Moving On)
Words and Music by Troy Schiewe
Copyright 2019

Katie I love the things we do
But lately somethings bothering you
Think it's time you tell what is wrong

You tell me you're still love me
But maybe you think you should free
You say I'm like the moss on a rolling stone
You say you're moving on.

And I wonder if she'll come back in time
And I wonder if the girl was ever really mine

And I wonder if she'll come back in time
And I wonder if the girl was ever really mine

Katie the sun is getting low
And you say it's time for you go
I don't know how I'll carry on
Now you're moving on.

"And I wonder if she'll come back in time" gave me a Back to the Future moment.
I enjoyed the narrative, melody and arrangement.
All really well done but finishing the last two lines with ON sort of bummed me out as everything else was classy.


Cheers

The harmonica does a great job setting up the feel of the song.

Nice vocals, instrumental sounds great. BiaB harmonies work for me.

Good song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Really well done - there's a lot of sincerity in this one, and the lyrics are easy to relate to. The gentle vibes make it easy to follow, and the harmonica fit perfectly. Nicely catchy too.

Thanks for sharing smile

Didn't notice the double on. Don't know why???

How about

Katie the sun is getting low
And you say it's time for you go
Don't know what I'll do once your gone
Now you're moving on

once I have time I'll re record it.

Thanks for the constructive criticism

tschiewe,

Really like the melody on this, and the vocal really makes it resonate, holding well on those long notes. Nice harmonies accentuate the tune. Very well done, with stellar production. Congrats—this is a real good one!

All the best,

Deej

Really pretty song!! Nice flowing melody. Good vocals/arrangement, and band (solo is sweet)! I like the rhyme between first and second lines of the verses....I would find one that works for the 3rd verse as well. Nicely done!! Take care. Greg
